  • Three Black Men are on the NYT list. That's the headline. But we should also note that two of the books are advising black women how to catch a man, which suggests that the real headline is that Sisters Put Brothers on the NYT List. (Sisters are probably responsible for the third book one, but I'm not claiming it. The first two were hard enough.)
  • Anne's three year old daughter is changing the English language.
  • This is the harshest "inside publishing" piece I have ever read.
  • MFA Students, Erika wants to know what you want.
  • Tracy K is in The New Yorker!
  • Letter writing for hire.
  • So this guy thinks that bookstores should group books based on where they have been reviewed, publisher, etc. I think this idea would take the existing prejudices in publishing and put them on crack.
  • You have to be a true nerd to appreciate this. (I am not a true nerd, so I only appreciated the entry on Gremlins because I had always wondered about the effect of Daylight Savings Time on the little critters.)
  • Funny article on writers in the workplace. Just imagine my job where EVERYONE is a writer.
